The Yakuza (now known globally as Like a Dragon) meme phenomenon reached its peak with the 'Baka Mitai' song, commonly known as 'Dame Da Ne' due to its opening lyrics. Originally a karaoke minigame in Yakuza 0, the emotional ballad became a viral sensation as users deep-faked the faces of various characters and celebrities onto Kiryu’s singing head. Beyond the music, the series is a goldmine for memes due to its sharp contrast between hyper-masculine drama and absurdly humorous sub-stories. From Kiryu slamming desks in frustration to Majima’s unpredictable antics, these memes capture the unique blend of tragedy and comedy that defines the Sega franchise.
